Make a 3D video call

Ozeki XD Phone turns your PBX into a next generation phone system that
enables breathtaking 3D video calls.
3D video calling is much more than a revolutionary technology: It brings people
closer to each other. It allows realistic face to face communication.
You only need to install multiple
cameras on your PC then precisely calibrate them, and enjoy high-tech
video calls.

Step 1: Download Ozeki XD Phone

First, you need to download and install the 3D softphone client:Download Ozeki XD Phone
You can launch it by opening its icon on your desktop.

Step 2: Align your cameras

Now, it is time to align your cameras. If you use a 3D compatible webcamera, just
put it on the top of your monitor and move on the next step.
However, if you use two conventional webcameras, take a
look at Figure 2 for our tip about the right camera placement.
Be sure that the distance between your cameras is approximately 65 mm.

Step 3: Configure your Ozeki XD Phone

After the installation, you need to connect your softphone to
Ozeki Phone System XE as a SIP extension.
For this purpose, first you need to open the settings window
by pressing the magnifier button on your 3D softphone (Figure 3).

Now, the 'Device settings' window can be seen, where you can setup your SIP account.
If you provide the appropriate values (IP Address, Extension phone number, Password),
your softphone will be able to make calls,
even if you do not have any camera in your system. For 3D calling, you need to
select two different 3D cameras in the '3D camera settings' section
(if you use a 3D compatible camera, you will probably see the same camera as
the left and right camera) (Figure 4).

Step 4: Download and install Ozeki Phone System XE

For making 3D video calls, it is essentially needed to download
the latest version of Ozeki Phone System XE. Using our Quick start guide
you can install the software quickly and easily.

For 3D calling, you need to add a SIP account in Ozeki Phone System XE for the
caller and an other one for the callee.

If learning mode is enabled, you do not need to install this SIP extension explicitly,
since it will be added automatically. In this case move on to the Step 3.

If learning mode is disabled, you need to install a new SIP extension
in Ozeki Phone System XE:

Click on the 'Install' button next to the 'SIP extension' row (Figure 8)

After you have successfully installed a SIP account for a 3D Softphone, now
add and configure an other SIP extension for an other 3D Softphone in the same way.

Step 5: Of course you need somebody to call

To call somebody, please install Ozeki XD Phone on a second pc and register it to
the Ozeki Phone System XE PBX.

The previous steps shows how to add new SIP extensions
in Ozeki Phone System XE and how to configure Ozeki XD Phone.
The following figure shows that you have registered two Ozeki XD Phones to the PBX.

Step 6: Make a test call

Between the pick up and the hang up button you need to choose the type of
your call. For 3D video calls, you need to check the 3D checkbox.
Now your softphone is ready to make your first 3D video call.
Just type in the callee’s phone number and start the call by pressing the pick
up button.

Having done these steps, the video window can be seen, where you will see your
partner in 3D. For the perfect experience it is recommended to use cyan-red 3D
glasses.
